As Shen Yuan approached the small, weathered hut nestled in the dense forest, a sense of foreboding gripped his chest. His usually calm demeanor wavered as his instincts screamed that something was amiss. The air around the hut was still, unnaturally so, as though the very forest was holding its breath. Shadows danced under the faint light spilling through the cracks of the wooden structure.
Dashing forward with urgency, Shen Yuan reached out and pushed the door open, the creak of its hinges breaking the eerie silence. His hand trembled slightly, his heart pounding louder with every passing second. The heavy thud of his heartbeat was deafening in his ears as his emotions surged uncontrollably.
Inside, the scene unfolded in slow motion. There, in the center of the modest room, Xiao Yi Xian stood, swaying unsteadily as if the strength had drained from her body. Her once-vibrant figure now appeared fragile, her face pale and devoid of its usual warmth. Her eyes, barely open, fluttered weakly, and before Shen Yuan could fully comprehend the situation, she began to collapse.
"Xiao Yi Xian!" he shouted, his voice breaking as he surged forward. Time seemed to stretch as he moved, his instincts taking over. Reaching her just in time, Shen Yuan caught her limp body before she could hit the ground. His arms tightened protectively around her as though shielding her from an invisible force.
Her head lolled against his chest, and he could feel the faint, uneven rhythm of her breaths. A sharp pain stabbed through his heart, a mix of fear and helplessness overwhelming him. Desperation clawed at him as he shook her gently at first, then with more urgency. "Xiao Yi Xian, wake up! It's me—Shen Yuan! Please, wake up!"
Her silence was agonizing. He could see the delicate rise and fall of her chest, but it wasn't enough to calm the storm raging within him. Droplets of cold sweat slid down his temple as his mind spiraled into panic. Was she hurt? Poisoned? Her very name was a reminder of her mastery of toxins—had one turned against her?
Shen Yuan's hands trembled as he cupped her face, the warmth of her skin reassuring him slightly. "Xiao Yi Xian," he whispered again, this time softer, his voice thick with emotion. "Don't leave me... Please."
As if responding to his plea, her eyelids fluttered open. Her deep, dark eyes met his, but they seemed unfocused, dazed. For a brief moment, it was as if she didn't recognize him. But then, something shifted. Her gaze cleared, and recognition flickered in her eyes.
"Shen... Yuan?" she murmured, her voice faint and hoarse.
His heart leaped at the sound of her voice, relief flooding his entire being. "Yes, it's me. I'm here," he said, his voice trembling as he held her closer.
As he said that,Xiao Yi Xian Puts her hand on her forehead,Her mind still whirling,As She realized Shen Yuan infront of her,Her Eyes was quickly replaced with Fear,And an Unknown Emotion.
She was afraid of Something.It was because,She don't want Anyone especially Shen Yuan to know,that she has the Woeful Poison Body,And now that he knows it,Her Fear of him abandoning her was Unmoved.
